Is He Out of His Mind?

Don't eat strange mushrooms.
You may discover that you are out of your mind.
Jesus was not eating strange mushrooms--
just healing a man born blind.

When he said these things, the people were again divided in their opinions about him. Some said, "He's demon-possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man like that?" Others said, "This doesn't sound like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" John 10:19-21 

Meditate on divided opinions.

 

You hear it every day. People on one side or the other about something…from school issues to what the President has most recently said. Divided opinions. That is just what they are spouting. Opinions! Not facts.

Here in this scripture, people were taking sides and voicing their opinions. Jesus had just restored the eyesight for a man born blind. That was a fact. Was Jesus demon-possessed, or was He from God? Some could see that Jesus’ power was not demonic. What is your opinion about what Jesus did? Is He out of His mind? Are those who just don’t see the truth and power “Out of their minds?”

What do you conclude about Jesus, His power, and His relationship with those voicing their opinions about Him?

 

Prayer – Lord Jesus, You were amazingly merciful as You restored the eyesight of that man who had been born blind. I believe that You are the Messiah—the Savior of the World…my Savior. Thank You.

 

Verse of Salvation ~ Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
